I am revising some secondary features of my world that I feel overlap too much with other works. It is a strange thing, when I came up with these ideas 5 years ago, I thought they were quite original. However, I recently re-read a few books I had enjoyed many (many) years ago, and I was shocked to see some of the themes there have made their way into my work without enough creative differences to justify themselves. At first I was panicked, but stepping back, the overlaps are with non-essential filler in the world-building, so I am removing them.

Goodbye ‘Deimos’.
